It cursed internally at this moment.
That said, it did not have a better idea when Big Yellow sped up out of the blue.
“Boom…”
A surging power struck its jaw. It was so fast that it could not have reacted at all.
The lizard’s body suddenly flew up. Even if it tried hard to lie prone on the ground, it was simply impossible.
Big Yellow was not only inciting a White-Silver-level speed, but also a corresponding power. The 20-points increments of the Power and Agility attributes out of thin air demonstrated unparalleled effects at this time.
Like a wheel being tossed into the sky, the lizard somersaulted in the air then fell hard to the ground, causing a deep hole to be formed.
Having said that, everything was just a beginning.
Big Yellow did not stop there as it dashed forward at lightning speed. Before the lizard could even get up, the big yellow dog kicked it again. Consequently, the lizard flew up once more without being able to resist at all.
Somersaulted, landed, kicked, knocked down…
It was akin to a cycle, where Big Yellow unleashed its mightiness to an extreme.
Ou Yangming watched the fight coldly with his hands behind his back. He was never worried about Big Yellow’s safety. The big yellow dog had not even performed its ultimate transformation. In actuality, it was capable enough to challenge someone above its rank.
With help from the full equipment set tailored by Ou Yangming and the unique transformation ability from the insect king, the big yellow could easily crush equal-ranked opponents.
After falling to the ground several times, leaving a few deep holes on the ground, the lizard was already dizzy. Blood was flowing out of the corner of its mouth, which was the result of its internal organs being severely damaged.
Big Yellow was clearly more relaxed. From its perspective, the lizard had become a fallen bird or a fish on the shore. At most, the insect could only hit it a few times but was no longer threatening.
The big yellow dog swayed toward the lizard and stepped on its head. It stuck out its chest proudly and barked at Ou Yangming.
Ou Yangming smiled, but he quickly noticed a subtle move from the lizard. He raised his eyebrows and yelled, “Be careful!”
Big Yellow was dumbfounded. It lowered its head to look at the lizard because it could not imagine how the insect could still be a threat.
Nonetheless, it was then when the lizard forcibly lifted its head and blew dense fog at the big yellow dog.
The dense fog was released as fast as an arrow. Big Yellow could evade it if it was paying attention, but it was puffed by the fog as it was caught off guard.
“Roar…”
The fog instantly triggered Big Yellow’s savagery. It roared and released its gifted power instead of backing away.
As a result, an enormous stone awl emerged from the ground and penetrated the lizard’s body. Big Yellow even pinned the insect harder to the ground to allow the stone awl to penetrate it further.
Next, by the time the stone awl stopped rising, a massive hole was formed on the lizard’s body, where plenty of blood flowed out.
The insect was tenacious, but it no longer had any life left after being crazily attacked by Big Yellow.
Although Big Yellow killed the lizard insect, its body shook as it was about to collapse.
The poisonous fog from the lizard was definitely formed by gathering all of the poison inside its body. Perhaps it sensed that it was going to be doomed, thus it wanted to perish together with the big yellow dog.
Ou Yangming approached Big Yellow. He could not help but scoff as he looked at the black gas rising slowly from its body.
‘How dare this fella be so careless in the Spiritual Realm? It brought this upon itself.’
The young fellow looked up and glared at Lu Zhenxie, then it carried Big Yellow and left the scene without saying a word.
Whether or not he would take revenge, his priority at the moment was to remove the poison from Big Yellow.
Chapter 646 - Remove Poison
Big Yellow hung its head helplessly.
The insect’s poison was strong, but it could not kill the big yellow dog directly. Nonetheless, if the poison spread, it would not be able to survive despite its tough physique. Therefore, the suffering was inevitable.
As at this moment, Big Yellow blinked pitifully at Ou Yangming and stuck out its tongue to fawn over him.
Ou Yangming was exasperated. “How dare you belittle your opponent when it’s a powerhouse from the Spiritual Realm? What were you doing if you weren’t courting death?”
Big Yellow puffed hard as though it was admitting its mistake.
“This is a lesson for you. Since you won’t die yet, continue to suffer slowly!”
The big yellow dog widened its eyes in disbelief, and it shouted, “Lil’ Ming, what did you say? Are you not going to save me?”
Ou Yangming scoffed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest coldly.
Big Yellow rolled its eyes and quickly apologized, “I was wrong—I admit that I was wrong. I won’t do it again!”
The poison could not kill it, but it made it feel awful. Similar to when a human got a virus or a cold, the feeling would make one feel like one would rather be dead, hence no living being would want to suffer for a long time.
Ou Yangming sighed. Seeing how unwell Big Yellow looked, he finally gave in. “Fine. You must remember your lesson today, or even God won’t be able to save you!”
Big Yellow used to be an intelligent beast, but it gained pieces of top-notch equipment effortlessly because of Ou Yangming.
With help from the pieces of equipment, the big yellow could easily crush opponents that were even more powerful than it. Nevertheless, it might not be a good thing for it.
Ou Yangming turned his wrist and retrieved Ghost Mo’s poisonous pill.
As soon as the item appeared, a black gas diffused into the air. It was the poisonous pill’s spirit.
The black gas transformed into a centipede’s appearance, then it spiraled Ou Yangming and released a cheerful aura.
Ou Yangming grinned. He was amazed as he sensed his spiritual interaction with the poisonous pill’s soul. It turned out that the poisonous pill could give birth to wisdom, which was truly unbelievable. If he had not experienced this himself, he would not have believed this.
In actuality, there were extremely harsh conditions for treasures like the poisonous pill to generate wisdom.
The poisonous pill only succeeded because of the Poison Forest. Without absorbing plenty of Plant Poisonous Pills, it could not have stumbled upon such good luck.
“Big Yellow was poisoned, so see if you can suck out the poison inside its body,” Ou Yangming ordered softly after he teased the poisonous pill’s spirit for some time.
Since the fellow could absorb Plant Poisonous Pills, it definitely had the natural gift of sucking poison. The only thing was that Ou Yangming did not know if its innate ability could be applied on other living beings. If it was not impossible, it would be quite tricky to handle the poison inside Big Yellow’s body.
After all, Ou Yangming was a blacksmith, not an alchemist.
The poisonous pill’s spirit shook its body and went on top of Big Yellow’s body as if it understood Ou Yangming.
Big Yellow looked strangely at the fellow, and it seemed like it was worried about putting its life in the spirit’s hand. Even so, it lay on the ground obediently after it glanced at Ou Yangming.
After going around the big yellow dog, the poisonous pill’s spirit landed on its nose all of a sudden.
The big yellow dog twitched its wet nose and could not help but sneeze when it sensed the abnormality.
As such, the spirit was blown away by a breeze, and it seemed to have turned blacker.
Ou Yangming could not help but laugh, then he urged the spirit, “Quickly—stop dawdling.”
“Screech…”
The poisonous pill’s spirit made some noise, then
it landed on Big Yellow’s nose again. The centipede later aimed its head at the nose and released peculiar energy.
Big Yellow watched carefully at first, but it closed its eyes after a brief moment as it felt comfortable. Before long, a stream of black gas drifted out of its nostrils bit by bit, then it was absorbed by the poisonous pill’s spirit.
The process was probably very enjoyable, or Big Yellow would not have had such an expression.
Some moments later, the spirit fluttered again and returned to Ou Yangming, whereas Big Yellow shook its body and regained its energy. The big yellow dog had a remarkable physique indeed, such that it naturally recovered after the poison was removed.
Having said that, it somewhat revered the poisonous pill’s spirit
‘If this fella’s already so capable of removing poison, what if it poisons somebody?’
The lizard insect’s poison could not kill Big Yellow, but the big yellow dog would not be confident about enduring the poison if it came from the poisonous pill’s spirit.
As Ou Yangming gently tapped the poisonous pill with his finger, the spirit went inside compliantly. A centipede’s mark was clearly floating above the pill, and its tiny eyes were particularly vivid. If one stared at it, one would be unable to extricate oneself.
Ou Yangming nodded satisfactorily and kept the poisonous pill.
It was certainly a treasure. If it was smithed into a piece of equipment, the equipment’s quality would be enhanced for sure.
Afterward, Ou Yangming waved at Big Yellow with bright eyes and said, “Let’s go back to take a look. Heh, I hope we’ll be able to get some news from the fella that colluded with the Insects.”
Big Yellow’s eyes lit up. It barked and followed Ou Yangming back to the mountain behind the town with excitement.
The 2 parties were still confronting each other when they returned. However, Lu Zhenxie and his people were no longer arrogant. They looked gloomy and no longer showed an attitude as they only wanted to take the lizard’s carcass away.
In spite of that, Teng Liangpeng and his people were not idiots. The lizard was killed by Ou Yangming’s pet so theoretically, it should be his and the big yellow dog’s trophy. If the elder and his people let the other party have the carcass, how could they explain to Ou Yangming and Big Yellow when they return?
Thus, Teng Liangpeng insisted on keeping the lizard insect’s carcass here. Needless to say, nobody could tell if he was doing this out of a selfish intention.
While the 2 parties were still arguing, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow returned.
As soon as they appeared, the faces of Lu Zhenxie and Teng Liangpeng changed. Especially when they saw Big Yellow alive and kicking without showing any signs of being poisoned, they were even more shocked.
The big yellow dog was poisoned by the lizard’s strong poison, after all, and it was an ultimate hit, so the insect must have gathered all of its poison.
Judging from Big Yellow’s overpowering abilities, perhaps it would not be killed by the poison, but it would at least be immobilized for some time. Who knew, it showed up after a short while, and it did not seem like it was poisoned at all.
Ou Yangming’s method to remove poison was truly astounding. At the very least, the rest of them could not have done it.
The young fellow looked around, then he nodded at Teng Liangpeng and said, “Elder Teng, this lizard offended my friend, so I’d like to take it away.”
Teng Liangpeng laughed out loud and responded, “It’s your trophy, so you have the right to handle it as you wish, of course.”
“You can’t!” Lu Zhenxie shouted with a dark face.
Ou Yangming turned to look with a smile. “Why not?”
Lu Zhenxie pursed his lips and replied to him, “Friend, you have no idea about his origin. If you’d like to take forcible possession of it, I’m afraid that you’ll bring disaster upon yourself.”
The young fellow was moved, and he had a higher expectation. Although Ghost-clawed Venerable One was the greatest powerhouse among the lizard insects in Danzhou, there were plenty of lizards around, hence not all of them were valued by it or recruited to be its followers.
After hearing what Lu Zhenxie said, Ou Yangming hoped that the dead lizard had a stronger backing.
He grinned and asked, “The lizard has been killed, so I’ve probably started a feud. Heh, will you pretend that nothing happened if I let go of its carcass?”
Lu Zhenxie was startled for some time. He flushed as he was speechless.
Perhaps he would let anyone else go, but how could he guarantee that he could let go of the lizard insect’s murderer?
Ou Yangming no longer continued the conversation. He simply went forward and shook his hand to keep the lizard’s carcass, which had been on the ground for a long time, into his interspatial bag.
Lu Zhenxie gritted his teeth and jumped out abruptly, then he yelled, “Friend, you can’t take it away!”
“Why not? Do you have to explain to its senior?” Ou Yangming smirked.
Teng Liangpeng sneered as well and mocked Lu Zhenxie, “Brother Lu, did you really collude with the Insects?”
Lu Zhenxie would have admitted it if he was in another territory. However, the most formidable clan on this land had a bitter hatred for the Insects. They were irreconcilable enemies that could not coexist.
Hence, Lu Zhenxie was not going to admit the accusation. Nonetheless, he could not let Ou Yangming take the lizard’s carcass away, so he made up his mind and suggested, “Friend, how about we make a bet, and the winner gets this carcass? What do you think?”
“This lizard was killed by Big Yellow, so it belongs to me. Who are you to use it for a bet?” Ou Yangming sneered. “If you’d like to make a bet, sure—you can bet with your life.”
Lu Zhenxie’s people were in an uproar. If Big Yellow was not looking at them fiercely, they would have attacked the young fellow already.
Teng Liangpeng looked like he was calm, but he was secretly alert. ‘Ou Yangming’s acting tough as if he’s sure that he has the upper hand over Lu Zhenxie and his people. Is he also a potent Spirit Grade cultivator?’
He glanced at Big Yellow and became more certain.
Only an equal-ranked Spirit Grade cultivator could make the powerful spirit beast obey him.
Lu Zhenxie took a deep breath and uttered, “Your Excellency, don’t go too far!”
Ou Yangming chuckled and questioned, “What are you going to bet with?”
“I’ll bet with this. What do you think?” Lu Zhenxie responded sternly after some thought.
He retrieved an interspatial bag and placed it on the ground.
Teng Liangpeng’s eyes gleamed at once. He looked at the interspatial bag in astonishment and covetously.
“Lu Zhenxie, where did you… Get this interspatial bag?”
Chapter 647 - Fight
“An interspatial bag?”
“So this is an interspatial bag!”
“How could the Lu family gain an interspatial bag? We didn’t hear about this…”
Surprised voices filled the air. Not only Teng Liangpeng’s people were surprised, but the people behind Lu Zhenxie also whispered and coveted the interspatial bag.
It was an interspatial bag—an interspatial bag!
On the other hand, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were disdainful.
They had plenty of such an item with them.
Nonetheless, after they entered the Spiritual Realm and got in touch with more people, they understood better the value of interspatial bags.
For normal cultivators, unless they came from influential sects, it would be extremely difficult for them to obtain interspatial bags. Without notable opportunities, they could probably forget about it.
Even for Xia Zizhen, who was a disciple from the Beast King Sect, he only possessed a ruined interspatial bag. As for Poisonous Saber Gentleman, who had the same cultivation base as him, it was even worse for him.
In Ou Yangming’s opinion, the intersp
atial bag’s value could not be mentioned on equal terms with the lizard insect’s carcass at all. On the contrary, most people in the Spiritual Realm would find an interspatial bag 10 times more valuable than a Spiritualist’s dead body.
Therefore, even Teng Liangpeng felt that it was not worth it when Lu Zhenxie retrieved the interspatial bag.
“Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?” Lu Zhenxie uttered word by word. He hated Ou Yangming and Big Yellow to their bones because they killed the lizard and forced him to present the interspatial bag. It would be tough for him to get rid of the hatred if he did not kill them.
Ou Yangming could not help but sneer when he sensed the vague killing intent released by Lu Zhenxie.
Lu Zhenxie was doing his best to hide the killing intent, such that even Teng Liangpeng and Big Yellow did not notice it, but he could not hide it from Ou Yangming’s remarkable sensing ability.
‘Since this person’s trying so hard to court his death, I’ll fulfill his wish.’
“Alright, I’ll take this as your bet. How would you like to fight?” Ou Yangming asked.
Lu Zhenxie was secretly relieved because he was afraid that the young fellow would be indifferent toward the interspatial bag. If that was really the case, he would not know what to do.
He curbed his thought and responded, “Our towns are having Hunting Meets now. Since we’re going to fight, let’s compete with our hunting skills.” He pointed at a tall mountain in the distance and suggested, “We’ll hunt in that forest and return after 3 days. Whoever has more noteworthy quarries will win. What do you think?”
Teng Liangpeng and the others nodded slowly because it was a fair suggestion, and they had nothing to say about it.
Ou Yangming had a strange smile on his face. He looked at Lu Zhenxie without saying a word, but his eyes were incredibly bright as though he could see through one’s heart.
Lu Zhenxie felt a chill in his heart, but he asked, “Why? Do you have a better suggestion, Your Excellency?”
The young fellow sighed. “No, it’s all up to you but… I hope you won’t regret this, Your Excellency.”
The middle-aged man’s face changed. “Hmph, why would I regret this!” He looked at Teng Liangpeng and said, “Brother Teng, I’ll leave this carcass with you for now, and I’ll come back for it after 3 days.” Following that, he picked up the interspatial bag then waved his hand and left with his people.
